About
We all experience life and the ups and downs along the way. I pursue being a real and authentic partner to journey with you during whatever life has handed you and commit to getting you back to the person you desire to be.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas who has been practicing since 2005. I received my Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Social Work from Baylor University and also hold a Clinical Supervisor license, helping build the next generation of social work clinicians. Since graduating, I've pursued being a real and authentic partner to those navigating mental health concerns, working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with mild to severe presentations. I enjoy working with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, phase-of-life challenges, wellness issues, and substance use.
I draw from many therapeutic models—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, problem-solving, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and motivational interviewing—to create a unique experience for each person. I'll work to give you a real, practical space to approach your concerns and navigate meaningful change.
I encourage you to take that first courageous step and schedule a session. We'll work together because many times we need new tools to handle what life has given us, and we'll build that toolbox together. Through conversation, practical application, and maybe a little laughter, we'll journey toward a place of hope and healing.

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is to begin with mindfulness/awareness skills. I find the best benefit in beginning therapy with being aware of how your body feels, finding awareness of your cognitions, and what the overall feelings are.
I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they speak of awareness/mindfulness, or when they talk of surprise concerning how feelings can do more than just make you feel.
Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy by reading “The Body Keeps the Score,” completing additional skills training modules, and listing feelings and actions that go with the feelings.
To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can read through Buddhist beliefs to help them learn about mindfulness.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Waco, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
